I built perl 5.001 a couple of days ago on my 2.0-R system... of
course I'm not sure what all I did <grin> (*) but it passes all tests
with no errors. I started to make a package out of it but haven't
tested it yet; or I can send someone a gzip-tar of the entire
perl directory with the configuration files and binaries still
intact if anyone is interested. Just don't use it for Satan.. =)
As I'm sure all of you know Satan v.1.0 opens up a security hole.

(*) What I think what I did was to force some things to be
staticly loaded and things went smoothly. I was surprised
that it passed with no errors, but, I'm not complaining.
